Literature
Literature
Part of the Media, Culture & Communication cluster.

Literature invites you to explore how stories shape our understanding of the world and ourselves. Whether you’re reading ancient myths or graphic novels, analyzing poetry or film, you’ll learn to ask big questions about identity, power, and meaning. You will study texts from across time and cultures, and discover how literature reflects and challenges the values of the societies that produce it. Along the way, you’ll develop the tools to read closely, think critically, and write with clarity and insight.
